    Beautiful Sunday - the IRA version
    I think last year in the ill-fated away game to Malmo he was lucky to stay on the park when he basically kicked one of their players in the stones.

    Other than that, I can't remember him having any temperament issues.

    What i am saying is we find it so * tough to get good strikers when we finally get them we keep one on the bench....its the one spot on the team we really struggle with and we should be doing everything we can to have both playing and happy in the team.
    I don't think griff or dembele will be happy being part time on the pitch.

    Was very unlucky with one first half last night. Great dig but fantastic save from Fox, also great set up for Moussa against the zombies. He's fine it's just that Moussa is immense just now. Two strikers doesn't seem to be in Brendan's plans, hard to argue with him given our performances this season.

    Not just aiming this at you because others are saying it, but I personally find this view as ridiculous and very old-fashioned.

    Aye 2 strikers used to be the norm, but it isn't any more. You'll be hard pressed to find many teams that play with 2 out and out strikers. There was a big deal made out of Leicester using 2 strikers last season because it was so unusual nowadays. Real Madrid, Man City, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Spurs, United, Chelsea, Liverpool and so on - all play with a single striker. Even Barca play with one proper striker - Suarez.

    We are skooshing the league using a 4231, there's absolutely no reason to change.

    Disagree that Leigh looks frustrated, he's still providing assists and helping the team whenever he plays and always gives 100%. He's just unlucky that he's behind someone in better form than him, but it's great to have more than one striker firing. First time in 20 years I'd suggest we've had two strikers this good - although Stokes and Hooper were on fire for awhile in Lenny's first season.

    He's not just behind someone in better form than him. He's behind someone that's better than him full stop.

    Dembele isn't better than Griffiths, yet.

    He is, he may be your current favourite player but admitting Dembele is better (Which he is) doesn't mean you'll love him any less.

    Are you suggesting Brendan is playing a poorer striker (Dembele) in front of a better one (Griffiths) every week?
